Whether I have had full service or just a few services, my gelding is still treated like he's the owners horse! The best tell for how wonderful it is, is that people who leave, no matter why, return! They say that there is no place like Townline. It's absolutely the truth. My daughter even feels like the barn manager is like a second mom. It's a family here, and not just for our horses!

I had never driven a cart and had a pony that was trained to cart previously. June got Piper (the…read morepony) in really nice shape (exercise, good nutrition, and turnout) and had him pulling a cart like a pro in 2 months. The hard part was teaching me, lol, but she has such a good way of explaining the methods, that it was much easier than I thought. Thank you, June and staff!! I have also watched June teach riding lessons (and then took some myself from her) and she is so patient and knowledgeable. She has also rehabilitated 2 horses for me that were in a lot of pain from old injuries. They are SO HAPPY!!! I'm so grateful that we found June and Castle Ridge Keep.

She is efficient with her training and instruction; I saw positive changes as soon as my horse and I started working with her. I can't say enough good things about what I've observed and experienced with Yasmin. Her regular students have consistently been in the ribbons at shows. I've watched her make great progress in a short time taking a horse with minimal training to being ridden. Today was my first lesson and every one of her suggestions improved my riding immediately. Because I've seen her put safety first with other riders, I trusted her to push me and my horse into progress while allowing me to feel brave and confident. The strategies she taught me today are already putting me on a path to be a better rider and my horse to be a more respectful and responsive partner.

For the last of our six sessions we met at a dog-friendly store to show Charlie how to behave in public places. After each session Parker followed up with an emailed outline of what we'd covered and links answering questions that had come up. Parker has a natural rapport with Charlie and he adores her. She's consistently firm with him while taking into account his limitations ("He's a puppy!" she reminded me.) Parker's knowledge, experience and friendliness make her ideally suited for coaching canines and their owners. We're lucky to have found her and we hope to see her again!

A lovely place with lovely people…read more I went in looking for a specific dog I had found online. Unfortunately, because of a health condition he has he wouldn't be able to go to a home where he would be left alone for a typical work day. At first I was sad, but the owner Kelly was upfront and made it clear to me this was for both mine and the dog's sake. The next step: They asked me what I was looking for in a dog, if I had any breeds in mind. Next thing I know I'm in a small room with 5 dogs saying hello. They both explained to me each dog's personality and let me socialize with the dogs midst the chaos. I would have never expected to end up adopting a Chihuahua - but he stole my heart right away. I'm in the middle of a move so could not adopt him until a couple weeks later (but still provided my payment) and they were more than happy to keep him the extra couple weeks until I could pick him up. It's been a very long two weeks, and I'm thrilled to see him this week! Overall it's a great organization with fantastic staff and volunteers. We live in the city of Chicago, but I know that if I ever adopt another dog in the future, I'll be going to Tails of Hope.

They do make exceptions and take in pets that would otherwise be put down at another location as well. To me that was an amazing mission statement. And they are a no kill shelter.

These ladies truly love the animals and provide them with the best care possible as they try and find the perfect families for these animals that have fallen on hard times. My coworkers and I took a group of students here to learn about the animals and the work that goes into running a shelter. Tails of Hope was super accommodating and helped us organize an engaging field trip!
